The fixed deposit monthly income scheme is ideal for depositors who require fixed monthly income to meet their daily expenses. This monthly income plan is especially popular among retired individuals or those individuals having large surpluses from inheritance or other sources but do not have adequate income sources. Such individuals can deposit their surpluses in FDs with a monthly interest pay-out option (a non-cumulative option) and then, derive regular monthly income from it.
In a monthly fixed deposit plan, the FD interest amount is calculated for the quarter and credited monthly to the savings or current account of a depositor at a discounted rate. The principal amount is repaid when the FD matures.
